If Steve's attitudes and ideals were, in fact, being propagated through the company, there would be a lot less to worry about. But they're not. Steve has very little influence on the morale and spirit of the comapny anymore. Often, the "Stalinist" environment is driven more by middle managers who 1) underapreciate their engineers and designers, and 2) lack the balls to stand up to Steve.

When Steve rages, and nobody rages back, it gets passed right down the chain, through management, and winds up falling on the coders and artists.

That's funny how so many people here are talking about "Apple" as if it were a single-headed person. It is certainly not. Even Steve has only 24h in his days, and he can certainly not intervene into every single decision at Apple Comp. Co. Plus he doesn't have expertise in mainly concerned fields.


I can't help feeling that Steve's attitudes are being propagated throughout the company. In fact, an Apple employee who shall remain nameless described the company as "Stalinist" WRT how it's changed since Steve came back to the helm. I think that's probably a pretty good description.
